Last winter, I had the privilege of designing a cowl for All Free Crochet’s blog, Stitch & Unwind. I had a lot of fun doing it, and I am loving the final result. Now, the full pattern is available right here on my blog!

just checked out stitch & unwind awesome site very excited to make this set ! I had just bought a couple of awesome skeins of Heartland and wasn’t sure what I wanted to make for me, now I know! Thank you

Hi Betty, I’m not sure who you’re referring to but I’m guessing she commented on a different blog post? Usually that IS the way to print a pattern, but this pattern is not on my blog. As stated above, it was a pattern I made for the Stitch & Unwind blog, and the pattern is linked up in the post, and here’s the URL: http://stitchandunwind.com/free-crochet-pattern-eggnog-crochet-cowl/. 🙂

Nope, turn 🙂 Rounds of SC have distinctly different looks when you continue without turning and when you turn each row. I’m going for the look that the latter one gives. If you want to continue without turning, the pattern will still work, it will just look different.

I’m sorry, at this point there is no video available. 🙂 You are literally bring the first SC you made around to touch the last SC you made, and joining them with a slip stitch. Be careful you don’t twist the chain.

Ok I bought this pattern, and Im already confused; After CH 91, are you supposed to connect the chain so its a circle? And then continue crocheting in a circle? I finished it as a flat piece, which now Im certain is wrong 🙁

Before you panic, you can still seam it up and it’s going to look basically the same. But no, it’s not worked flat. 🙂 The instructions for joining are included in each round. For instance, the last part of Round 1 says:

“Join with a SL ST to top of first SC, being careful not to twist the round.”

Many patterns ask you to join after chaining, which may be what threw you off? I wait to join until the first round is complete because it’s so much easier to avoid accidentally twisting the cowl when you’re working with a row of SCs, than when you only have a long chain.

I love the entire Sandy collection. But the cowl is my favorite. It has such gorgeous texture (are all crocheters “touches??) I touch everything in stores just to get the “feel” of them. This looks so soft and smooshy. I’m definitely making this for me… After I make it for at least one of my daughters…maybe all 3!

Hi I just discovered this pattern even though I’ve been a fan of your designs for a little while. I’m just getting back into crochet after losing motivation for a little while but I decided to make a scarf of some sort for my sister’s birthday in April and I loved this pattern as soon as I saw it. Thanks so much for all of your amazing designs ♡♡

Rebecca, I really love your pattern! Beautiful! I would like to be able to drape the cowl around my neck three times which would mean I need to make a longer chain; would the multiples be 2 + 1? Thank you for sharing your talents!

I'm Rebecca, a wife, mom, and tryer-of-new-crafty-things. I love to crochet, and I try to design patterns that the younger generations will love to make and love to wear. You can get to know me a little more here!
